Topic: SME Server 8.1 Beta 1 Release Announcement

thanks for adding 8.1beta into 8.0 this breaks my Servers!

Your server was not updated to 8.1beta.

You can very easily return to the previous smeserver-release package for 8.0, if the 8.1beta1 text display status bothers you.

rpm -e --nodeps smeserver-release
yum install smeserver-release --disablerepo=smeupdates
signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

Your server manager will show sme 8.0 then.

Testing wasn't selected, after update and reboot the new Kernel boot into FREEZE!

Which is very likely a hardware related or hardware compatibility issue, probably relating to your chipset.

think about to change OS to freebsd..cause this isn't funny..

You are seriously over reacting. The beta1 label is cosmetic only, the packages updated are the normal sme8.0 updates, and NOT the sme8.1beta updates.

I dont want to donate money if beta Kernels set as stable! This waste my time!

The kernel update comes from upstream CentOS sources & is beyond the control of sme server devs.
All admins should really test even official updates first, before applying them to production servers.
You need to do your job more carefully & ensure there are no compatibility issues with your hardware.

PLEASE DONT MAKE the same ERRORS like M$, Ubuntu + SAMBA4.0!  DONT SET TESTING to STABLE!

Your conclusions are not correct, the only minor error was that the smeserver-release beta package was released as a regular update, which changes the text in server manager etc, so of cosmetic concern only. All the updated packages were stable tested sme8.0 updates only. I think there was an error or bug in the initscripts package also, which is minor.

Putting all this here for future readers to assess.
Please review bug 7910 for any further details.

This has currently been sent for testing as it should cure the release string. At the moment I cannot advise installing this on any server until the testing is completed.

I think that is not our fault, you should see the redhat project :p

Just for my own information, how do you spent for the project this month, from my part between my monthly donation and the server i manage for the project (aubrac-medical.fr) i have spent 54€, and i'm still smiling .

Do you think when you are explaining how people can remove the donate paypal button of the server-manager is a good thing, that you have done a GREAT step for the community.....I DO not think so. (see link above in google+)

what a trash..cause the Community does 90% of the work..bug tracking, error reporting, error cleaning..

This project is done for people who want to help other, to work together, to share their skill or their money when they can, but not for people who are only able to read bugzilla report and explain how you can remove a string in a rpm.

I'm really disappointed and i hope you will have more success with freebsd, i can recommend FreeNAS or Nas4free if really you have a problem with money.

May I respectively suggest that Thomas has lost all rights to ask a question and get an answer, at least a polite one..a tamperer (has more meaning than what it at first appears  ).

The update to resolve the display version has been released.

SME Server Update Notification
2013-10-17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : smeserver-release
Product     : SME 8
Version     : 8.1
Release     : 0.beta1.1.el5.sme
URL         : [(none)]
Summary     : SME Server release file
Description :
e-smith server and gateway release file
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

After the updates released on 30th September 2013 the version displayed on
SME 8 servers was incorrectly shown as 8.1 Beta 1. The smeserver-release package
was removed from the mirrors and this update now corrects the version text to
show SME Server 8.0 again.

The actual functionality of the server was not affected but understandably there
was concern at seeing a Beta tag appearing on our stable release.

ChangeLog:

* Sun Oct 16 2013 Ian Wells <esmith@wellsi.com> 8.1-0.beta1.1
- Update to correct the displayversion for 8.0 servers
